Minetta Tavern -- A Look Back

Now that Minetta Tavern has reopened to rave reviews, I thought it would be fun to revisit the old Tavern interior, circa '07, pre renovation.  The prohibition era restaurant/bar has the virtual history of Greenwich Village written on its faded walls, with murals depicting Mori restaurant, Jim Kelly's bar and notable 1950s Broadway showfolk and politicians recalling seemingly happier, simpler times.
